i tried what u were talking about but i dont think i can do it cause my spider is fine its just my voicecoil thats messed up. Any suggestions on what to do?? Does anyone know if pioneer's premier waranty will cover this?? Thanks guys

Ok yeah it does sound like a voice coil problem then.. The warranty should cover it as long as you bought from an authorized dealer.. I'd definitely try giving them a call too see if you can talk to a live person.. When dealing with infinity i had absolutely no luck until i talked to a person.. And all i really wanted out of the tech support was to see if there was a reason my speaker blew, and how i could prevent it, when he told me i could ship back the cone and voice coil and get brand new ones straight from the factory, even though i bought from an unauthorized dealer.. he said only a one time replacement though.. I dont know if pioneer would be that helpfull but if you did buy from an authorized dealer they should definitely help you.. Also, if you bought if from a retailer in town take it back to them, lots of times they will warrant it and give you a new one and you wont even have to pay shipping. It doesnt hurt to try..

To fix the sub would be very difficult if not impossible. it wouldnt be worth your time if you have voice coil problems.. it wouldnt be as good as new that way either.

put it close to your monitor and see what kind of cool colors you get. haha no actualy dont do that, i did it the other day by accident (it was like 3 feet away) and my monitor was all weird.. i had no idea it was from the speaker, i thought my monitor was all jacked up.. then i remembered that you arent supposed to put magnets by monitors. It looks kinda cool.. but it might mess up your monitor.. mine was fine i just had to move the speaker a lot further away and turn the monitor off and back on.

hey sspider, before you mess with the sub, check out https://www.onlinecarstereo.com/caraudio/custserv.asp

Now i think yours is considered abuse but considering you are using a 300 watt rms amp i think you said and the speakers are rated higher than that, if you have a camera or soemthing i would take a picture of your setup and show him what it was.. and see if he will warrant them.. if they have a tech service number call them up, often times companies return policies are much more harsh on paper than they are in real life, and you just might be able to get a new sub.. and if you dont want those kind anymore anyways, well then sell the new one on ebay. you could get probably 100+ for it... i wouldnt just throw the speaker away.. i mean if they say no and pioneer says no, then i'd get rid of them... otherwise i would at least try going through the guys you bought them, and if you have no luck that way, see if you can get pionneer to help you out.. cus you never know. The reason they have harsh return policies is to scare the majority of people into thinking that their circumstance doesnt qualify for a return when it does.. and then they get less returns.. but they will usually honor them if you have a good reason why you should be able to return them. and if they totally say no you could threaten them by saying something like "well good luck getting anymore business as i'll pass on how unethical your business practice is on all the caraudio forums i go on"

i think thats bullshit if they wont honor it personally.. unless you had it for more than a year.
